HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.6.1-00 Administrator Guide (Web Version)
4 Security
This chapter describes the security settings required to operate P9000 Command View AE Suite
products.
Login warning banners
A warning banner is a field for security messages displayed in the Login panel of P9000 Command
View AE Suite products.
P9000 Command View AE Suite products can display an optional message (warning banner), as a
security risk measure at login. Issuing a warning beforehand to third parties that might attempt illegal
access can help reduce the risk of problems such as data loss or information leakage.
Conditions that apply when displaying warning banner messages
When you use the hcmdsbanner command to register a message to be displayed on a warning
banner, there are restrictions on the number of characters and character codes.
• Use HTML tags to create a message. In addition to the usual characters, you can use HTML tags
to change font attributes or place line breaks in desired locations.
The following conditions apply to the use of HTML tags:
• To use line breaks in a desired location, use the HTML tag <BR>.
• To display a character used in HTML syntax (for example, < > " ' &), use the HTML escape
sequence. For example, to display an ampersand (&) in the Login panel, write & in the
HTML file.
• No more than 1,000 characters can be used. (HTML tag characters are also counted in the number
of characters.)
• Usable characters are from the Unicode UTF-8 encoding.
Creating and registering a message displayed on a warning banner
Use a text editor to create a message displayed on a warning banner for P9000 Command View AE
Suite programs, and execute the hcmdsbanner command to register it.
Operations to complete in advance
Log in as a user with Administrator permissions (for Windows) or as a root user (for Linux).
